Rescued Animal Snuggle, a compassionate alternative to the Stock Show

Yes, we know the multi-million dollar National Western Stock Show is a big deal in Denver, but it seems like most people attending are less interested in animals as objects to be bought and sold but just wanting experience the wonder and beauty of the animals. And they don’t just want to look at them behind fences and cages, they want to be up close and personal. So we created a meaningful, compassionate alternative for animal lovers! Nestled just 7 minutes from the complex sits our sanctuary for rescued farm animals, truly living their best lives in freedom and love. Come give them all the cuddles they love and deserve! You’ll meet animals of 23 species, interact with them in their home, hear their rescue stories and lots of interesting facts about farm animals from those who truly care about them. Goats, cows, sheep, alpacas, piglets, ducks, turkeys, horses, donkeys and even water buffaloes! Advance tickets are $15, all ages, or $20 cash or Venmo at the door. Vegan Van will be onsite to serve up delicious plant-based food. (Purchase of food is not included in the ticket price.) Bundle up and pull on your boots, this event is not to be missed! * No food or drink may be brought to this event. * Tickets are NON REFUNDABLE. If the event is cancelled due to severe weather, the event will be rescheduled or you may use your ticket at a future event. * This event begins at 12:00pm and lasts until 1:30pm to allow guests ample time to see the sanctuary and spend time with the animals. We cannot accomodate late arrivals. * Children over one year must have a ticket to enter. * No companion animals are allowed at the sanctuary, in cars or on leashes, under any circumstances. * Be sure to whitelist brokenshovels@gmail.com to your email to ensure you receive your receipt, tickets, etc.
